concurrent sysctl implementation

[vasanth raonaik]

Hello Jt,

I am a newbee in this alias. I am having a very basic question. It would be
really good if you could give me some of this information.
Could you please elaborate on what is the current architecture of sysctl
implementation and How the concurrency would benefit us.

Thanks in advance,
Vasanth
